Wow… THIS is why I will never be opposed to a player trying to get all the $$$$ he can. These teams dont care about the players and as soon …. as SOON as they can replace you.. THEY WILL
—————————-

Funny, that wasn’t the sentiment of fans during the lockout.

Back to the topic at hand. What did Jason Campbell expect the team to do? Wait until Jason was completely off the lingering effects of his pain meds to inform him of the acquisition? Last I remember, it’s the PLAYERS that are ALWAYS SAYING that “This is a business” when it comes to THEM wanting more money. So, how is THIS any different?

Also, both teams were trying to work under the radar on the trade…that is until Jay Glazer ran his mouth on Twitter in order to say, “First.”

Speaking as a former Carson Palmer fan, I think this thing is going to blow up in the Raiders’ faces. Palmer has done nothing since the knee injury. He’s simply not been the same player. I fail to see why the Raiders would be excited about him. And as for comments, well..it seems to me that many of the same people that said Kevin Kolb was unproven and overrated are now on the Palmer bandwagon.

===================================

Palmer went to the Pro Bowl (and won Pro Bowl MVP, not that that really means much) the year AFTER the knee surgery. He had a pretty good year the following year but threw too many picks.

You’re basically right though, but it’s after his elbow injury that his play has really declined, not the knee injury, and I’m not too optimistic about his future either. It just always bothers me when people say that “he was never the same” after the knee injury, when he actually had a huge year right after it.

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 15:42:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=162305#comment-1343002The team is 4-2 (and 1 play away from 5-1). You lose your starting QB and are staring at Kyle Boller or a rookie who’s practiced for 2 weeks as your QB.

Your injured QB is out a MINIMUM of 6 weeks and more likely 8-10 especially since it was his throwing arm. The seasons over for him (and you as well if you do nothing). He’s also not under contract for next season.

There is a trade deadline coming up in one week and free agents are nil with Garrard needing surgery.

Don’t you think the team is a little busy to worry about when Jason is notified of a trade? With Twitter, et. all., these trades/activities are known minutes after they are finalized. Do you really think that the notification should of been at the top of the teams priority list?

How about worrying about THE TEAM first.

AND A REAL COMPETITION. Not the farce that I saw with Trent Edwards and Kyle Boller. Trent Edwards will QB circles around Boller.

I really thought he was turning a corner in his career, and that he was the guy to lead this team to the playoffs. Unfortunately, Campbell got hurt while trying to extend his arm for a first down. That’s the kind of guy Jason is, he’ll lay it all out there for the team.

That being said, the Raiders couldn’t wait on Jason. They want to win now, and the Raiders wouldn’t have survived 6-8 weeks of Kyle Boller. I’d love to resign Jason as the backup quarterback because he’s an awesome Raider, but I also realize that this guy deserves a chance to start.

Thanks for your commitment to excellence but its time for you to move on. This is what we needed. (Coach Hue) ALWAYS looking to make the team better, no matter if your a starting OLB (Quinten Groves- replaced last week with the trade for Aaaron Curry) or incumbant starting QB. Remember when Bill Walsh got rid of Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott 2-4 years BEFORE they were done?

Which is why I remain cautious about this decision. I am not certain it was a good one, but we will find out soon enough.

The Raiders have been good rejuvenators or players in the past.

Were the Raiders supposed to interrupt Cambell during surgery and let him know?

Tell him before surgery and let his agent know as well, before they’d secured Palmer?

Delaying was not an option – given the trade deadline and the circumstances of the injury and surgery, I’m not sure whether Cambell was expecting them to delay out of concerns of hurting his feelings

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 14:27:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=162305#comment-1342823Could this had been handled differently? Of course, but the timing is what precipitated the way it was handled.

Jason had surgery on Monday. Sure, it would have been nice if Hue Jackson had stayed by his bedside all day Monday and Tuesday, but he had a bigger responsibility to the entire team. At 4-2 and with their starting QB out for a minimum of six weeks, Jackson had to do something to give his team the greatest chance of getting to the playoffs. With Kyle Boller at the helm, the Raiders would be 7-5 at best after six weeks of play. Jackson had to explore free agent and trade possibilities that gave his team the best chance of winning — at least until Jason Campbell returns. Remember, the Raiders don’t have a GM, which means that Jackson is the head coach and GM until one is hired. He also had to prepare his team for the next game. The trade deadline was Tuesday at 4EST, which means that Jackson had less than 48 hours to get a trade done after Jason’s injury.

I’m sure Jackson checked on Jason. When he did talk to Jason, he told him how much his hard work was appreciated. Jason knows this is a business of winning, and that lat any time any team will attempt to make itself better. You also failed to mention that Jason’s contract expires after the season, which means he could move on at any time — without talking to his coach.

Jason should re-sign with the Raiders, where he is appreciated by
Raider Nation. Every player in the NFL knows that he is only one play away from being a starter at any time, and he’s also one play away from amseason-ending or career-ending injury at any time.

Although I have appreciation for Campbell only losing one game this year to the Pats, (or at the very least ruined hope altogether to come back)he has done well enough most of the time to manage the game.

Other than that he was scared under pressure, even long distance pressure, and made horrible passes in those situations. If he wound up to go deep, you almost knew it was incomplete, out of bounds, or picked.

Then there were the check down passes all day long to pad stats or out of fear of making a downfield throw. It was easier that way. Also, Hue had been in his ear over it on the sidelines, and I really don’t believe Hue likes him. What he said to him post injury is all fluff with no substance.

Carson better be good, and very good.

I am thankful to Campbell, but he’s an 8-8 guy, maybe 9-7.

———————————–
And Carson Palmer is a 4-12 guy.

A 1st and a 2nd (it won’t convert to a 1st because they aren’t going to the AFC Championship) for a QB in the twilight of his career with diminishing arm strength? Campbell was perfect for what the Raiders were on offense. They should have rode out this injury with Boller, continued on with Cambell after the injury and next year, and developed Pryor for the future….

… And kept their draft picks.

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 14:22:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=162305#comment-1342814Hue made the right move. Being that Hue didn’t care for Campbells pusillanimous play on the field, I am certain there was a sigh of relief when Hues ear caught the sound waves of the breaking of a collar bone.

Keep in mind Hue had been talking to Palmer for a while. I wonder why?

The time was now to get him, and the trade had to get done fast by Tuesday.

Hopefully haste isn’t waste here, and Palmer performs well.

I can’t imagine what this offense will be like on the ground and in the air with a very good QB at the helm. No more stacking the box. It would be about time the Raiders started to win again and perhaps even dominate in the AFC West.

Also, we have some very capable WR’s on this team, so don’t go bringing Ocho-stinko in the mix. No need for a prima-donna as I can’t name one on this team, and I like it that way.

Again, I appreciate Campbells efforts to get good, but he is what he is. With all of our offensive weapons, he held back part of the power of the offense, which is the running game because no one feared his passing. Fact.

Good luck Jason.
